Conversations like these help shape the future of San Antonio. We were honored to have our CEO, James Nortey, join fellow community leaders to discuss equitable economic development, neighborhood investment, affordability, and strategies that help ensure growth benefits the communities that call the Eastside and Westside home.

At SAGE, we remain committed to fostering opportunities that strengthen our neighborhoods while preserving the people, culture, and history that make the Eastside unique.

Thank you to the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Alexander Briseño Leadership Development Program for creating space for these important conversations.

You're Invited! 🎉Join us on Wednesday, June 17, at our Community Conversation, where we'll hold a discussion and brainstorming session on next steps for the Eastside Public Market Complex.

What is a public market complex? 🛍️Whether indoor, outdoor, or a mix of both, a public market is a shared space where local businesses sell food, art, and goods all in one place. It's not just shopping, though. It's a place to gather, a place to connect, and a place to celebrate community. Imagine a space on the Eastside where local food, culture, and entrepreneurship come together. That’s the vision of a public market complex — and SAGE wants to build it with you.
